Just got this Borsalino for €49. Looks late 50s - early 60s to me. Looks to be in brilliant condition, just a bit of dirt that’ll probably clean off with a quick brush and a bit of tape. Bit if steam and this one should be good to go. Don’t see any moth bites or stains, Sweat looks good too...

Here the rest of the pictures: I thought maybe some of you might get a kick out of seeing these. You dont see something like this everyday!

Today Id like to show you all something a little different. My one and only pair of "jeans" (that I still wear). These Jeans are made by a Chinese manufacturer called "Red Tornado" & are perhaps more accurately described as denim trousers. I bought them because I was searching for very high...

I'll Be Home For Christmas is another one. My favourite Christmas song too.

I LOVED the Ferengi costumes in DS9! You might well be right.

Here are a couple pictures of me wearing the jacket. I’m sorry, neither me nor the person who took the picture are good photographers. I basically never take "selfies" for social media, so the quality or colours aren’t very good. I think this jacket nails the authentic "ww2 fit" I was going for...

175 for a jacket like that is always a good price! Is the mouton genuine aswell or synthetic?

The Dubow arrived today! Leather definitely looks a lot better now that I have it in hand. I am no expert on flight jackets but this jacket certainly gives me the look I was going for. This is my first experience with goatskin and its a night and day difference to cow or horse hide. Much...

DHL express will let you pay online, but will charge for the service. If the information (documentation) the seller provides is insufficient, DHL might ask you to fill out a customs form, so be weary of that. Then they will also require you to provide proof of purchase like a receipt, so if the...

Great find! Ill probably order their Tanger model in white as Ive been looking for a white pair of warm weather trousers in this style.

I wear cheaper cotton sweaters at home because I know they will get dirty and will have to be washed often. I can just chug them into the wash. Plus my cat will make sure destroy any sweater I’m wearing with its claws, so no need to waste the good wool sweaters for lounging around at home.

The various leather flight jackets used during ww2, but only when worn by actual ww2 veterans. Especially those with many patches & artwork.

After I sent them an email asking for an update yesterday, today they sent me the pictures of the completed jacket. The lighting probably doesn’t show the colours correctly, I’m sure the leather will look richer in person. The overall look is definitely spot on. Looks authentic to something that...

Most hats you can shape yourself no problem, plenty of tutorials on YouTube. However the crowns of certain older hats were actually hard and cannot be dented. Most famously certain types of Derby/Bowler. So make sure you ask the seller before you buy whether the crown is soft or hard (meaning...

How long should one expect FS to usually take these days to make & ship a standard, unmodified jacket?
